be quiet! apart from the Dark Mount mechanical keyboard, also introduced a "lighter" version that has a more traditional layout, features, and price. The be quiet! Light Mount comes with different designs, and features and aims at users who prefer a totally clean black minimalistic design. The keyboard includes a programmable, aluminum 3D Media Wheel that allows users to take control of their music and videos including support for volume and mute functionality; additionally, 5 dedicated mechanical macro keys can be programmed to control media or set to game-specific actions.

Light Mount comes with PBT double-shot keycaps with translucent legends, and the same arched ARGB diffuser under each switch for a bright, even per-key illumination. To extend the ARGB effects of this keyboard, the brushed aluminum top plate includes a bright LED bar at the top edge, while two LED bars on the sides of the keyboard create a unique underglow effect. Folding feet with three angled positions and a modular magnetic Palm Rest round Light Mount with great ergonomics. The Light mount is equipped with high-quality mechanical Silent Switches, developed in-house by be quiet! These switches promise consistent actuation, durability, and smooth operation, and support Full N-key rollover and anti-ghosting, ensuring every keystroke is registered flawlessly.

The orange (linear) Silent Switch variant delivers ultra-smooth keystrokes with minimal resistance, making it ideal for fast-paced gaming and rapid typing. Meanwhile, the black (tactile) Silent Switch version provides a satisfying bump with every press, ensuring accuracy and responsiveness. All switches and stabilizers are pre-lubricated for enjoyable gaming and typing – something usually only done in the DIY scene – and are hot-swappable with support for 5-pin MX-style switches.

A three-layer dampening system (foam) minimizes keystroke noise while maintaining a satisfying tactile response. The internal sound-dampening materials are carefully engineered to reduce vibrations and echo, creating a whisper-quiet typing experience without compromising feedback. This makes Light Mount ideal for quiet environments while retaining the premium feel expected from a high-end mechanical keyboard.

The Light Mount keyboard is fully compatible with be quiet!’s new IO Center for Windows software, offering users complete control over their keyboard settings, lighting, and macro customization. With an intuitive interface, IO Center enables users to create personalized key assignments, and adjust ARGB lighting effects with precision. Additionally, the IO Center Web app works with Chromium-based browsers1 on Windows, macOS, and Linux. This powerful software ecosystem ensures a truly personalized typing experience tailored to each user’s needs.
